Topic: Australian depression glass (Read 1026 times)

i got this bit of Australian depression glass from the carboot, measures 3.5" x 2.5", it's got a photo of Sydney harbor on the back, the colour is like an emerald green I've never seen this colour before would the date be around the 1930's? it's a candle holder come chamberstick, any ideas who made it?

With this sort of view ware, often the blanks were imported and the photos glued on locally.

The only group in Australia making domestic pressed glass items in 1932 (and until after the war sometime) was The Crown Crystal Glass Company. However, I don't recognise the pattern and the colour doesn't look right (although that can be an artifact of digital photography and computer settings). I suspect that this one was probably imported. :?

Does anyone know about ferries? The boat in the lower left hand side might narrow down about when it was made.
